Mostly Wetaskiwin (W 14-40) here in Victoria, BC tonight with a talker
underneath.
best wishes,

Quoting George Sherman george...@yahoo.com:
Heard what may have been code at start, at :10 I could hear a Y. Seemed to
have assorted sound effects at various pitches. 73, George S., MN
Left Perseus running and heard in DC with morse code IDs at two different tone
levels -- first set around 1kHz and second set higher.

Fighting with WHKZ the whole time. Male announcer with mentions of National
Radio Club, DXing and 'seeing just how far
Unattended recordings yielded various aspects of the test program - code, voice
ID's, calls, music despite having to aim almost right through local flea-power
nightttime WNPV and dominant WHKZ-OH. I wasn't sure how well that would work
when I set up the 2010 last night.
I also had an as yet
Morse IDs right after 1:00 am, then into Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy. Followed
by voice announcement with station ID and phone numer.
Barefoot Sony 2010 here. Worked well in dealing with slop from local 1430 here.

Not a very good eastern night last night, was wasn't surprised to hear
no trace of the test. Not much at all heard on the frequency, with
only Wetaskawin and KMAJ definitely noted.

I tried. That's about all I can say.
Our local WNPV on 1440 in Lansdale made this difficult. I drove several
miles into one of their nulls in an attempt to receive the test, but it was
a no go.

Well done, George, and I'm amazed that you were able to get it through KDIZ.
WFNY was a no-show at this locality. :(

WFNY test heard here with same details as reported by other DXers. Initial
code IDs were so weak I couldn't make out a letter at all. Then hrd the
initial announcement and a couple tentative IDs. The signal built through
Reber Rouser. Reached its strongest during the announcement that
Just wanted to add my name to those who heard the WFNY DX test this
morning. Signal strength was a little disappointing but there were moments of
breakthrough. Code set were heard, plus at times I could hear the local DJ who
explained the test, occasionally gave a time check or current wx
WFNY is one of the regulars here on 1440, so it was no surprise that the test
came through well on my timed recording. The code was certainly very
punchy... in fact, if it was on the ham bands, I'd be inclined to say they
had key clicks. :-) It's too bad for the folks out west that east-west

It sounds phonetically similar to WNPV, actually, although I don't think they
use that wording. Their normal slogan is InfoRadio. It almost sounds like the
WHKZ Fox New Radio intro without the Fox.

I guess this kinda brings up a question I'll pose to all listservers that I'm
on
-- do stations that stream their audio still QSL? I mean, you could say you
were at such and such a location listening on terrestrial radio, but any CE
could counter with an assertion that you could be in Seattle

Looks as if the SNR promo was in fact local WNPV. Still haven't figured out
which one of the many possibilities may have been ESPN.

KRVN-880 is completely off, as of 1845 ELT. Already have an ID from unneeded

Not only that, but a few years ago, I tried to get some of my students
interested in DX when we were studying the atmosphere. I had them listen at
night to see what they could hear and where stations were located. Some of the
more crafty ones figured out they could listen via the

Extension 720 on WGN is still there, but is pre-empted by Blackhawks and Cubs
games/post game shows. It is more frequent since WGN began broadcasting the
hockey matches. However, Dr. Rosenberg's anti-Obama bias is becoming a bore.
